Terms of use.

Welcome to Block Out the Noise. This website is owned and run by Block Out the Noise, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company. When these terms say “I” or “me,” they mean Jessica Davis and Block Out the Noise, LLC. These terms explain how you can use this website, and just as important, what it is and what it isn’t. By using blockoutthenoisepodcast.com, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Education, not therapy

This is the most important part, so it comes first.

• Block Out the Noise offers education, encouragement and coaching. It is not therapy.
• I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor, but what I share on this site, in the podcast, the videos, the newsletter and the free downloads is general information and my own perspective. It isn’t medical or mental health advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it can’t take the place of care from someone who knows your situation.
• Visiting the site, listening, signing up or messaging me does not create a therapist-client relationship with me or with Davis-Smith Mental Health.
• Please don’t ignore advice from your own doctor or therapist, or put off getting help, because of something you read or heard here. Talk with your doctor before changing any medication or treatment.

If you’re struggling with your mental health, please reach out to a therapist. If you’re in crisis, contact emergency services or a local helpline. You don’t have to go through it alone.

Everyone’s path is different

Anxiety looks different for everyone, so I can’t promise any particular result from the tools and ideas I share. Take what helps, and leave what doesn’t.

Your free downloads

The free downloads are for your own personal use. Please don’t sell, republish or pass on the files themselves. Sharing the link to the page so someone else can get their own copy is always welcome.

Who owns the content

The writing, audio, video, graphics and downloads on this site belong to Block Out the Noise, LLC. You’re welcome to share links and short quotes with credit back to Block Out the Noise. For anything more, please ask me first.

Using the site kindly

Please don’t:

• Try to break, overload or hack the site
• Use bots or scrapers to copy the content (search engines are fine)
• Use the site for anything illegal or harmful
• Collect other people’s information from it

When you fill in a form, please give information that’s true and your own.

Paid programs

If I offer a paid course, coaching program, membership or subscription, it will come with its own terms that you’ll see before you pay. Those will cover what’s included, billing, cancellation and refunds, and they apply alongside these terms.

Coaching through Block Out the Noise is coaching, not therapy, even though I’m a licensed counselor. Everything in the “Education, not therapy” section above still applies.

Links to other sites

This site links to other websites and services, like Substack, YouTube, Apple Podcasts and Spotify. They have their own terms, and I’m not responsible for their content.

No guarantees

I work hard to keep everything accurate and running, but the site is provided as is. I can’t promise it will always be available, complete, up to date or error free, and I may change or pause any part of it at any time.

Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Block Out the Noise, LLC and Jessica Davis are not responsible for any loss or harm that comes from using this site or relying on anything in it.

If part of these terms doesn’t hold up

If a court decides any part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.

Changes to these terms

I may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and using the site after a change means you accept the new version.
